Not much is known about it AFAIK. Most people (me included) seems to assume it's based on the 5121e chip from Freescale, in other words the "LimeBook" (or rather "LimePC") in some incarnation (of which you can search on morphzone.org (a couple of years back) for some additional info).

Well djnick, the update has been out for more than a decade. It is called MorphOS. It will solve your problems and do everything you asks for in that thread, and a lot more! MorphOS is Amiga done right!

Re: UPDATE: OS4 Netbook
At AmiWest, Steven Solie announced that Hyperion, the company that develops AmigaOS, has a PowerPC netbook which is already running AmigaOS4.
There are a few details in one thread on amigaworld from approximately October 23, 2011. Not much has been released in public. There have been some rumours and speculation and polls. --- redfox Last edited by redfox; 12-26-2011 at 02:47 PM.. |

And in the PPC architecture (OS4 isn't about to change CPU architecture, right?), a "netbook" (that is *already existing*) could only mean the MPC5121e CPU, and the only Netbook kind of platform built on this, is the LimePC. It does come under different brands though, like that South African thing, or cherrypal (but that was a NetTop/Cloud Computer), but it's still is a LimePC though (again: Search MorphZone.org for "LimePC" for more info)...

Re: UPDATE: OS4 Netbook
Maybe it is a netbook with the PA-semi emulated in Intel Atom dual CPU architecture.

Re: UPDATE: OS4 Netbook
What a f***** tease this title is. UPDATE (in caps) and no question mark in the title.
Mods should change the title of this empty thread. |
